Professors study death penalty impact in Iowa City
University of Iowa law professor David Baldus leads a four professor team analyzing how Georgia’s death penalty is applied since 1972. They aim to see if newer statutes are more even and predict continued executions as the system evolves. Baldus cites Supreme Court limitations on ruling every issue. He estimates 3 to 4 years could see about 1,000 on death row and 30 to 40 executions.
